It could be? That's a pretty optimistic outlook you have on brain damage and the longevity of a fighting career. If you're in the shit in a fight, there is fuck all wrong with tapping, sub/strikes. Its the fighters choice, only they know what their going throughIt could be, but once again you’re in wrong profession if brain damage is your concern
getting punched/kicked in the face isn’t healthy
So why do football players and hockey players wear helmets? Brain damage is super common..... It might be to reduce the risk. Fighters care about their brains 100% and anyfighter I know is super careful about training and being safe.It could be, but once again you’re in wrong profession if brain damage is your concern

seriously? I have Fedor in my profile pic.You must be the biggest gap fan and making excuses for him. I don’t know of a so called Goat tapping to strikes!
Okay, and if I'm ever cornering a fighter I'll tell him to make sure to take more of a beating to make knobs like you happy.Yeah okay, WASTE the thousands of dollars you invested in training camp, the countless hours of grind, your coaches time, the sparring bodies you beat up, etc... All because you lose morale from a little excretion and a few punches.
It’s your corners job to throw the towel if that’s the case, NOT yours WIMP.
You are going to get a lot of shit in this thread, but you are completely right.
I wasn't talking about GSP. I am not a fan of him because I find his fights boring but he is a great fighter. It's weird people are calling me a GSP nuthugger when my profile pic is Fedor.Gsp nuthuggers still can’t let it go?
there’s obvious difference between tapping to strikes n tapping to a sub
with a sub you’re stuck in that position n can’t get out. Tapping prevents either going to sleep or getting your arm/leg snapped
With strikes you’re not stuck in that position (unless it’s crucifix) n you can still move n try to improve your position. Tapping shows lack of heart or willingness to push through an uncomfortable position.
Nothing makes knobs like him happy.Okay, and if I'm ever cornering a fighter I'll tell him to make sure to take more of a beating to make knobs like you happy.
^^^^^^^^^ThisOn the plus side, it’s a pretty good way to tell if a fan is an idiot or not
brasil wand dosnt like anything lolI wouldn't worry too much about that guy. I'm pretty sure his gimmick is being completely wrong about everything.
I knew I would <Lmaoo>You are going to get a lot of shit in this thread, but you are completely right.
How is it okay to tap to a choke but not to tap because someone is beating the hell out of you and you can't defend yourself? I have been choked to unconsciousness it's not close to as bad as being beaten while you can't defend yourself.
the ref should stop it before the fighter has to tap to strikes but it happens. Fighters tap to strikes the same way they tap to a submission when they are defenseless if they can defend themselves they do.It's usually the ref really fucking up (or it's Mario) that requires a fighter to tap to strikes. A badly hurt fighter really just have to cover up like a turtle while looking like he has zero intention of fighting back for the ref to quickly stop the fight and thus saving the fighter the embarrassment of tapping to strikes. So that's usually as quick as tapping to a sub.
Of course, if Mario was the ref.... yeah, totally OK to tap to strikes.
